Personal insults are not allowed anywhere in this forum. Please make sure that all insults or “flames” are strictly game-related. Any Real Life (RL) related insults will not be tolerated.

Anything deemed politically extreme, pornographic, illegal, or unsavory in any way is prohibited in this game whether posted or referenced. Racist or ethnic bashing comments are forbidden even if used in jest. Mentioning drugs is allowed, but comments that play down the use of illegal drugs or promote the use of said substances are strictly forbidden. Please note that starring out characters like "F*ck" does not make it any less a swear word. it is still perfectly understandable and still intentionally offensive, and thus is forbidden in all forms.

Do not use copyrighted materials of any kind in your posts unless you have permission to do so.

It is an extra feature - (ie the game admin can find your name easier to fix a problem you have ingame.)Seekers are allowed to have a different forum name then their ingame name.Seekers can leave the option to fill in their ingame name blank.Seekers are NOT allowed to use another ingame name then their own.

Posts

Before you post, please make sure that you know what you are posting is within the forum rules.

As with all other aspects of the game, this forum is English only. Please limit other languages to well known (or translated) short quotes or phrases and use only when appropriate in the situation.

Please post answers/comments that are relevant and relate/refer to the thread topic. If you cannot post a sensible answer it is better to avoid saying anything. This is particularly true for one-word-posts like "lol" or "rofl".

To avoid repetition of arguments especially in long discussions you should always read the whole topic before posting.

Please take a moment before posting a new topic and make sure you are posting in the correct forum so the administrators don't have to move it later. Please be aware that some sub-forums have additional rules. Please read them before posting.

Before you post a new topic please make sure that there has not already been a similar topic.

Please choose appropriate titles when creating a topic. Please avoid incomplete or attention seeking names as they are deemed unfavourable. Generalistic titles such as "question", "help", "lol" should also be avoided.

Please reread the text before posting it to avoid mistakes. Your text might be read by hundreds of players so make sure it is understandable.

Be economical with quotations! Quote only the relevant parts so that posts won't get unnecessarily long.

It is not allowed to rebuke another user concerning his grammar/spelling.

Guidelines to Having a Guild Forum:1. A Forum/Guilds must have a minimum of 6 members before it will be created, unless special circumstances apply.2. A Guild must have a Guild Master who will be directly responsible for what is done and said in that guild sub-forum and have moderation of that forum. 3. A Guild must be a guild with effect in-game, so the Lord Aro-fanclub guild... shouldn't be named a guild, nor the pure-rp-guilds that never leave forum. 4. Any Guilds or sub-forums inactive for 3 months (unless prior arrangement is made with admin) will be shutdown and sent to archives.5. Forum Administration retain the right to moderate all Forums, Guild Forums and sub-forums. 6. There can be more than one of the same type of Guild. (This rule is inactive until such times as the game has a larger membership or there is acceptable reasons given).

Addendum:Lord Arogandor: "Making an group/section is fine, but I would like to see on paper a what exactly the group/section stands for, charter, goals, intentions, etc. We will not make a big amount of groups, with all their own little mods, who have no other goal then showing to others their lovely mod colors".

Apart from the experimental Guilds already in place. If Lord Arogandor approves the Charter or reasons for the group then you can get a forum here. Otherwise you can still be a group, but you would have to use an offsite forum such as a free one from Forumotion (where ours is hosted~links on the bottom left-hand page).

To Apply for a Guild please mail your idea to Airy: Community Manager.
